This would make him a perfect 3 for 3 in putting programs on probation, if it sticks.

Back in the mid-70s, he accepted the Davidson job, but left a few months later, before coaching a single game. I think Wildcat fans should be happy about that, considering what's happened to the other college programs he coached.

Brown belongs in the pros, IMO, where he can do anything and everything to win.
 
Larry "Slimeball" Brown at it again .... smh
If this is true, he should receive a lifetime ban from the NCAA
 
Cheaters gonna cheat.

If true, given their past, they deserve the death penalty in all sports. Maybe harsh but screw them.
 
The "insiders" on the smu board think little to nothing comes of this.

Going to punish the entire athletic program and university for something that happened 30 years ago? How about the real death penalty for jaywalking? :unsure: :huh:
 
Per ESPN:

The NCAA has banned SMU from 2016 postseason play and has suspended Larry Brown for 30 percent of the team's games this season due to a lack of head coach control, a source close to the situation said.

The 30 percent ban for Brown means he will miss nine games total. The school also will be hit with nine scholarship losses over the next three years, although SMU was two below the limit this past season.

The NCAA is expected to announce the sanctions at 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday.

This marks the third time a Brown-coached program has been sanctioned by the NCAA, with the others happening at Kansas and UCLA.
 
How do you not give a coach that has 3 major violations the death penalty? He should be allowed near a college program.
 
The same smug SMU fans who thought nothing would come of this are now going nuts. They want the school to sue the NCAA. They do have a point that the punishment is almost as bad as Cuse who cheated for decades.

Larry Brown and Jim Boeheim -- two of the game's biggest names -- will each face a 9-game suspension this season.

And Pete Rose can't get himself into the baseball HOF.

Brown really needs to go back to the pros.

The guy hates losing so much, that he's willing to win by any means necessary. In the pros, that's a perfectly fine attitude to have. In college, that can get you into trouble.

If you want to find a ton of sleezy programs, just look at the ones that rapidly turn losing programs into winners. There aren't many shortcuts to build a program. Guarantee Mullin will be clean, and this will take a few years for us to return to prominence

Well there is certainly a strong whiff of entitlement around that place and when annual tuition plus R&B runs over $60K, you have to wonder... Their football team got the death penalty so they are no strangers to this.

Best story from the 30 for 30 "Pony Express" was Dickerson got a Trans-Am as a bonus when he signed for Texas A&M but when he switched to SMU he continued to drive it around campus... Eventually some Aggies found it and trashed the car.

Some day there will be an expose on Larry Brown and it will beggar belief. To think his name was mentioned on this site in connection with SJU. Ugh...
 
And we still hear crickets on the UNC investigation. How long ago was that now?

SMU seniors Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy can play right away at any school that's on quarters--quarter system. #littleknownfact #NCAAB
